“Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.”  -Margaret Mead, anthropologist

All people are math people when foundational skills are strong and our natural instinct to be curious problem solvers is nurtured. Math is so much fun, especially when confidence is built, mistakes are celebrated as learning opportunities, and nothing is timed.  

I received my training in Add+VantageMR® (AVMR) through the US Math Recovery Council. In addition, I have a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from George Mason University, and five years of classroom experience. I teach math skills through number routines, engaging games and activities, and application to real life scenarios.
